So are they saying they're cutting off plumbing for the people who could be infected???

I don't get it.

Is this a measure to stop the spread of the virus through the sewer system or is it just about tracking and "draconian" tactics against people?

He was "Taking a selfie" and telling people around him he had the coronavirus...

What do you wanna bet this was some "prank" YouTuber piece of trash with like 1000 subscribers trying to get attention?

He should be put in jail for a week.

So somebody in LA is sick, they went to the doctor who presumably determined they didn't have the coronavirus either because they didn't even bring it up, or he hadn't been in China, etc.

I don't know either but it sounds really bad.
People still saying "the regular flu is worse" don't have
the capacity to fully grasp what's going on here.

**Mister Obvious** · 02-03-2020, 11:40 PM

I'm just saying dude, this is how it happens.

Well it seems like in that particular situation the whole idea was to get those people from Hubei to register to have their water turned back on upon returning to Shenzhen. That could be for a few reasons. If any of them got sick they'd know who they are and could start tracking their contacts more easily, among other reasons.

**Mister Obvious** · 02-03-2020, 11:42 PM

But still, any threat to turn off water sets a concerning precedent.

In this case, it was a refusal to turn water that was already off back on.

Crazy shit nonetheless though, and something to keep an eye on.
